Advice when buying your new computer.

[Ineedaride2]

Don't ever go directly to a computer-makers website and customize then order your computer. Always go the website, customize the computer to your liking, then CALL the company.

Every time I've done this, I've either gotten a discount or had something thrown in free. I didn't have to ask for it, I just hem-hawed around like I wasn't sure if I wanted it, or I asked how their computers stacked up to another manufacturer.

I've gotten these results twice through Dell, and I just got 10% off on a new Thinkpad T61 just because I called to ask a question about it.

JFYI.
